Hi ladies,
I down with dengue fever hence long time never post here. Any of you got dengue b4? I feel very tired after that, worse than giving birth. I deliver naturally so by the 8th day, my lochia clear up n wound no longer pain liao. But after I discharge from hospital from dengue, till now also 2nd week, I still feel weak. But at least, I am feeling better by the day. So guess it takes time for me to fully regain to my usual self. Hate dengue!!!
mayelynn,
My daughter also dun drink milk nowadays. She prefer cereal or puree. She is on solids for 3 weeks liao. She just turns 5 months yesterday. Plus she is teething so less appetite for milk. Hence it become guessing games, sometimes she drink, sometimes she dun drink, she prefer eat solids. So to save milk powder, we will not prepare the full amount that she usually drink. We will prepare 2oz 1st, if she drink, then we prepare another 4 oz for her to drink. But got to have helper stand-by lor. Luckily, my house 3 persons, me, hubby and my mother all know how to take care of my daughter. So can use this method. Perhaps u want to try out this method?
I am using Similac infant 1 at $39.50 now, Stage 2 is around $34. So it is much cheaper. Same for all milk powder hence just tahan till 6 months then the cost of milk powder will reduce greatly. But think Enfalac increase the price too sharply at 1 go, $3. I am keeping finger crossed that Similac dun increase price also.
Diaper price: I realise Mamy Poko always have this promotion at $21.45, just have to keep a look out. Sometimes, NTUC has the promotion 1st then follow by Giant or Sheng Xiong so dun just go to 1 supermarket to do ur marketing.
Ur bb how old? Now use M size liao. My daughter still using S size. Mamy poko S size is as big as Drypers M size hence I am sticking to Mamy Poko though it is much costly.
Cost of living: Now with the arrival of our bb, find that $ no enough. But I still want to enjoy a better life, dun want to suffer just to save the $ for our bb. So instead of cutting down on our lifestyle like going to restaurant to eat, I take out tuition assignment. But only 2 assignment, just to earn extra to cover the additional expenses that bb spend. So far, I din feel the pinch of rising cost of living yet. But downside, got to sacrifice some time during weekend to go tuition instead of keeping my daughter company. Guess in life, u gain some, u lose some.
How are you all coping with the additional bb expenses?
